The second man, wearing a combat vest, chooses his fellow fighter’s right hand, revealing what appears to be a stone inside his clenched fist – indicating he has become the jihadi to carry out the death mission.

The beaming terrorist then jumps around excitedly as other fighters congratulate him, kissing and hugging him.

The video then cuts to the makeshift suicide vehicle driving through a dusty village.

The next shot shows a plume of smoke rising behind a cluster of buildings in the distance – but it cannot be verified if the man in the video actually carried out the suicide attack.

The sickening footage comes as ISIS take a beating from Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga forces in the former terrorist stronghold of Mosul, Iraq.
